modelling minion Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hi all, Here is my latest completed model, its Airfix's excellent new 1/72 B-25 C/D built as an aircraft operated by the 13th Guards Long Range Aviation Regiment and sporting a temporary Winter camo scheme applied over the standard Olive Drab over Neutral Grey that the aircraft was delivered in. Not much to say about the build as it was a very smooth process and I didn't have any issues at all and can heartily recommend this kit to anyone who has an interest in this aircraft, and I usually build in 1/48 scale. Anyway here are the pics, sorry but there are rather a lot of them as I got carried away in the sunshine! Sorry for all the pics. Here's a link to the WIP which was done as part of the B-25 STGB which you really should check out as there are some excellent builds. Thanks for looking and all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig. 65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Excellent build of what look's to be a winner from Airfix Craig and a great scheme too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzapaolo Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Superb build, great to see in Russian scheme. Any idea what the words say on the fuselage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazontipede Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 'Avenger' IIRC. Super build, that winter distemper looks really amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 It takes real guts to photograph ones models up so close, but in this case it just highlight's your excellent modelling abilities with this fantastic Mitchell. This is a real work of art and suits the scale of this excellent replica. Cheers and very well done.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canopy and clear parts were all masked using the Eduard pre-cut set, a real time and effort saver in this scale and all the masks fitted perfectly.

kapam Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Fabulous work! As another commenter said, your willingness to bring the camera in close surely testifies to superior building skills. The worn, winter finish is superb too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Nice to see a B-25 in Soviet markings for a change. That temporary winter camouflage is fantastically well done. Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
